EU Referendum

[Hobbit]

Well it was if you are not looking constantly looking to be upset or offended by anything I post. But it keeps some people busy replying to my posts, I see it as some kind of community service, giving back to society. You watch, there'll be one to follow this post along any minute now. Bless them

I know this seems to be laboring the point but: He posted "On the plus side" Then posted a link to a news article saying there has been a downturn in business spending since Brexit. Does that not mean this article was a positive piece of news for him? He never posted a smiley, so how are you supposed to take it! Do I have to think anything he posts is not what he really means or is that just when someone like me challenges it.

But I guess it will be suggested I don't have a sense of humor .

First of all, I'd just like to say I voted Remain. Secondly, shockingly, I agree with SR.

HK posted some great informative stuff, pre-vote, but since then its been childish, snidy backbiting posts thinly hidden with smilies and sarcasm. Its petty point scoring at best.

At the risk of repeating myself, it was obviously intended to be sarcastic.

It didn't appear so to me.
I'm convinced HK took solace from that article, apologies if I'm wrong.
Only he knows.

In that case England would need to 'Square the circle' be in 'uncharted waters' put 'all options on the table' 'be given a mandate' nod their heads around a lot and then call for an Indi'1 and go it alone.

I thought that scenario had started already.



OOPS.......:lol: nearly forgot the smiley

Far more likely that Spain would veto any move by Scotland to avoid a precedent being set and thus causing problems for them with Catalonia and the Basques.

How does it work with vetoes in the EU? Do all states have them on all matters?

I believe the Maastricht Treaty requires all member states to agree to new members.

Ah cool, so the same reason "remain" said we'd be able to veto turkey's membership. Got it.

Yes..... only new member?

And that is exactly what Scotland would be. The various treaties do not allow for regions (which is how Scotland would be viewed under EU rules) to have different status.

The Cyprus situation is totally different as the Government based in the Greek section is internationally recognised as the national Government of a Sovereign State.

In International Law Scotland remains within the UK.

Much talking to do before Article 50 is fired up. [probably about 20 years:lol:]
It looks like Europe are working a way for Scotland to remain in the EU

Out of Interest, why are all the anti-Scots on here so desperate to keep us in the UK ?

One of my wife's relatives said to her the other night, 'I can't understand why Scotland wants to leave England, they will have to introduce passports and borders and all that.' Yes, she was a Brexit voter:lol:

Well I am pro-Union and pro-EU and not anti Scot!

However, I do think you are kidding yourself that there is any interest in keeping Scotland in the EU on the part of the member states.

Ms Sturgeon was greeted warmly and then sent on her way with the words "Nothing doing" ringing in her ears.

1) We are not mainly Anti-Scotts, thats a stupid comment.
2) Because we are unionist, just like the majority of Scotts.

Soooooo out of touch that you cannot even spell Scots.

Perhaps that was an SR joke:lol:

Who are the anti-Scots? Myself, i'm fairly ambivalent towards Scotland. I'd prefer the Union to continue as I think it's mutually beneficial to the whole of the UK. However, if Scotland wants to go it alone, I would'nt lose any sleep over it.
The only thing that irritates is the constant anti-English slant to anything certain forum members have to say.

As far as having a finger on the Scottish pulse he has been misfiring for the past few weeks.
